Liliana sprawled on the bed without a care for her image. The Information Terminal in front of her was displaying a prose poem written by some literary youth to "Artemis the Moon Girl". She was so touched that she burst into tears.
"Boss, tell me, why am I so popular?" The little girl grabbed her handkerchief and rubbed it against her face. It was hard to tell if she was really touched or not (I never believed Liliana's face anyway. Her expression was too confusing). "Look at their flowery words. I'm embarrassed. Should I show up again and tell those scientists that I was just messing with them two days ago?"
I carefully combed Jingle's hair and tried to tie her twin ponytails with surgical precision. I kicked Liliana's butt without lifting my head. "Then you'll become public enemy number one. You can't even talk properly."
Liliana grumbled and continued to search for news related to her on the internet. I finally succeeded: I tied Jingle to the comb and could not untie her.
The palm-sized little one hung on the finger-sized crystal comb. Her hair was messed up by a certain clumsy fellow. It looked like if there was no help from an expert who could solve the labyrinth of Crete in thirty seconds, she would hang on the comb until eight o 'clock that night. But even so, the little one did not seem angry at all. The heartless little one held the comb that I could barely hold but was still shockingly big for her. She hopped onto Liliana's head, and the two of them began to sigh at how delicate human emotions were …
I was afraid that Jingle would react and use her little white teeth to fight me. So, I quickly snuck out. Just as I reached the stairs to the second floor, I ran into my elder sister.
"What's that girl doing?"
Her elder sister asked worriedly. It was rare for Liliana to be in low spirits. This time, she stayed in her room surfing the Internet for two consecutive days, which made everyone in the family feel exceptionally frightened. But perhaps, except for Lin Xue, no one would have thought that the girl was actually narcissistic for two days, right?
"That little wench is welcoming spring. She's narcissistic in her room. There are people writing poems for her on the internet …" I curled my lips. From the corner of my eye, I saw Icetis walking towards me with a big fluffy ball in her arms. She seemed to have a lot on her mind. At that moment, I felt that the world might be facing its end — — Icetis, who was so heartless that it was shocking, actually looked like she had a lot on her mind! This was illogical!
Let me put it this way. In my heart, Icetis had always been the most beautiful flower in the world of simple-minded people. Her personality was basically challenging any kind of morality. In my impression, this girl had never revealed any serious expression. I even suspected that this girl would continue to be heartless even if her own father died. But it was this kind of goddess who was originally set to be an idiot who actually walked over with a face full of worry!
"Is there something wrong with you? What are you looking at!" Just as I was starting to consider whether or not I should inform the entire human race to seek refuge, Icetis's voice suddenly rang in my ear. It turned out that this girl saw that my gaze was focused on her, so she directly teleported over. It was as if we were close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Icetis reached out her hand and hugged my shoulder. With a slight bit of force, a creaking sound could be heard. I almost died under the gentleness of her 36E. My chest was squeezed into a vacuum on the spot. I hurriedly tried my best to break away from the notoriously alluring bear hug of this Pervert Goddess. I took a deep breath: That was really dangerous. She didn't know how to control her strength. If I had a weak body, I would have been sent to the emergency room. Furthermore, it was extremely difficult to write an injury description. The Emperor of the Empire was crippled by a pair of 36E …
This meant that I had to pay attention to staying away from Lin in the future. As a true God who relied purely on strength to survive, that girl definitely had the strength to squeeze me, who wasn't skilled in close combat, until my heart and lungs ruptured. This injury description was definitely more difficult to write than being squeezed unconscious by Icetis's bear hug. Being crippled by a 36E attack was considered a good deal, but if I were to collapse under a pair of A-cup breasts that were only slightly stronger than Pandora …
"I say, did you eat something wrong?"
The Pervert Goddess once again interrupted my thoughts. The moment I came back to my senses, a long, white, soft cloth bag appeared in front of me. Icetis's voice sounded from behind the bag, "This is for you. I promised you."
"What's this?"
I subconsciously accepted the rather beautiful white cloth bag. It looked like a rather large cloth bag, but the material was definitely not made of cloth. At the very least, I had never seen any cloth with floating golden runes on it. The craftsmanship was very exquisite, as if a lot of effort had been put into it. It was extremely light in my hands, and I didn't feel anything at all. What was even more attractive was that this thing was constantly emitting a very light fragrance. I couldn't tell what kind of fragrance it was, but it definitely wasn't one of those shallow, so-called high-end perfume. This smell felt vaguely familiar, but there was also a foreign smell mixed in, covering up the scent that I was familiar with.
I turned the thing in my hands over and over again for a while. In the end, I confirmed that it looked like a pillow — just that it was a little too big.
As expected, Icetis very straightforwardly opened her mouth, and a few words almost scared me out of my wits, "A pillow, made from my feathers. Didn't I say a few days ago that I would give you a pillow like this? I am a person who keeps her promises!"
As Icetis said that, she vigorously patted my shoulder. The expression on her face was like that of a gangster boss who was telling her underlings, "Follow me, you will have meat to eat", "Big brother is the most loyal", "I will protect you from now on", and so on and so forth.
The expression on the big sister's face suddenly became subtle. Then, she swept her eyes over my body, giving me goosebumps. I hugged the pillow Icetis made in my hands, and my heart was filled with emotions. How do you think I should deal with this thing that seems to be so sensational from all aspects?
Icetis's ability to plan things out wasn't any weaker than Liliana's!
However, Bryndis herself didn't seem to realize how troublesome the thing she gave me was. I reckoned that she really felt that it would be a waste to throw away the feather that she had dropped, so she made such a thing for me. According to the nature of the rogue goddess, this was the most reasonable explanation. She didn't linger on this question for even a second longer. Instead, she started to talk about serious matters, which made me feel like I was trying to reject her politely, but I didn't feel like it was the right thing to do.
"Chen, I just returned from the God Realm, and I have news for you. The life sample that Jingle sent over has been found."
I instantly put the matter of the pillow to the side, and my face was filled with excitement. "Do you know which world they came from?"
Finding the origin of the Eternal-class battleship that had crashed on the moon and Mars had always been something that Sandora and I were concerned about. Not only was it because we were concerned about the Empire's property, but it was also because it was something that Visca's Destruction Army had left behind. From all aspects, the Destruction Army's relics were far more threatening than the normal Empire's relics. It was just like how you would feel if you lost a bottle of Pepsi and a bottle of T-Virus. When I first heard that Visca's Destruction Army was still active in another world, I felt even more anxious than if I had lost a bottle of T-Virus. I was almost at the point where I wanted to get another bottle.
The spaceship's log was incomplete, and we couldn't find the coordinates of the world where it came from. However, its crew might be a breakthrough point. So, we asked Jingle to upload the life sample collected from the spaceship to the God Realm, hoping to find the files of those people from another world from the Holy Church of Life's records — if they were created by the Protoss.
"We found them." Icetis's expression was a little troubled. "But the situation is even more complicated. According to the Holy Church of Life's records, those life samples were indeed created by the Protoss. However, after the latter grew to the point where they could explore the entire universe independently, the Protoss no longer monitored them. We only found an automatic record in the God Realm. That race had been completely destroyed, and their records in the God Realm's Life Registry were cleared. "
"Then maybe they were the survivors of the extinction of their race." I immediately guessed. Although I was a little emotional about the destruction of a civilization, I knew that for a normal race, the cycle of rise and fall, life and death was a regular thing. You couldn't stop it, nor could you stop it. I just didn't expect those people from another world who were brought over by the spaceship to be a group of refugees. Speaking of which, how did they find the Imperial Army's spaceship after the destruction of their civilization and transform it into a shelter?
"Survivors? It's not like that. "Icetis shook her head." The Holy Church of Life's automatic record wouldn't make such a mistake. Since it shows that the race had been completely destroyed, then there definitely wouldn't be any survivors. That is to say, under normal circumstances, the people from another world in that spaceship shouldn't exist at all. Their residences have been revoked. "
I didn't really understand how the God Realm's Life Registry worked. Anyway, since Icetis said so, it must be the case. A race that should have been completely extinct, and not even a stray cat or dog should have survived. In the end, not only were there survivors, but they also had some of the Empire's heritage. According to the spaceship's log, those people from another world who should have been destroyed even retained their social system. Would the Protoss make such a mistake?
Perhaps this was the reason why Icetis looked confused.
"Can you find out how they were 'extinct'?" The big sister seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked. "I mean, in the records of the Protoss, regardless of whether they were really extinct or not, you should at least have a record of the scene of the accident, right?" "There are records, but very few.
We only know that they were destroyed in the flames of war, and the process of extinction was very fast. By the time the God Realm's observers rushed over, everything was over. Not only was the race extinct, even the world they originally lived in had collapsed and was completely erased from the void. The God Realm's observers roamed the void for more than a thousand years and couldn't find any clues related to that world. They could only conclude that it was an unsolved case and report it to the Brilliant Divine Court … "
After hearing this, my first thought was that the God Father had a good temper. As a boss, he could actually tolerate his employees traveling for more than a thousand years without bringing back a fart. If it was any other capitalist, that observer who traveled for a thousand years on public funds could forget about getting a bonus for the rest of his life …
The big sister grabbed a strand of her hair and fiddled with it in front of her chest. She said thoughtfully, "In other words, according to the life samples collected from the wrecked spaceship, they should be from a species that was already extinct in the records of the Protoss. At the same time, the world they were born in was also destroyed. Both of them were destroyed in a sudden invasion."
I thought for a moment and suddenly put my hand on my forehead and sighed. "Could this be the work of the Visca again?"
Icetis shrugged. "I think that you are right. According to the records of the Protoss's observers on that world, the few worlds that are directly connected to it in the void have never given birth to such a powerful and aggressive civilization. To be able to destroy a world in such a short period of time, other than the army of the Xiling Empire, basically no one would be able to do so. Now, the God Realm has raised the hostile rating of the old Visca Destruction Army. The God Father intends to immediately send out a war warning to all the nearby worlds as soon as they are discovered. At the same time, they are preparing to annihilate the Destruction Army. However, we still need to seek your opinion on this. After all, you are the Human King. When it comes to how to deal with the Destruction Army, your opinion is more important. "
"I don't have any objections." I thought for a moment and nodded. "This is also Visca's intention. The Destruction Army that she created is purely a killing machine. All of its members were created using her chaotic template. There shouldn't be any possibility of persuading them."
"In that case, I will contact the God Father again." Icetis grinned. "From now on, other than the Fallen Apostle, there will be another Destruction Army that is wanted in the void. Hey, you aren't depressed, are you?"
I laughed dryly and rubbed my nose, not knowing what to say. These are all sins that the Old Empire had committed in a moment of rashness. Visca and the Fallen Apostle, both of them were the bitter fruits of their reckless research. If we were to talk about depression, I felt that Sandora would definitely be depressed. As for me, other than awkwardness, I really didn't feel anything. After all, I didn't have much experience in life.
"Speaking of which, when was that world destroyed?" The elder sister suddenly interrupted. "I want to know if it was before or after the destruction of Atlantis. During the attack on Atlantis, Visca probably only sent out a small number of troops. That's why she fought against a research team for so many years. However, when she destroyed the world that you mentioned, she definitely used some kind of superweapon. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the entire universe to be annihilated before the Protoss could react. "
With the elder sister's reminder, I finally noticed the strangeness of this matter. Just how large was the scale of Visca's Army of Destruction back then?
As everyone knew, when Visca attacked the Atlantis civilization, she fought a protracted battle. Even though there were elements of her mischievous teasing, it was undeniable that a research team from the Empire had been in a stalemate with her for a long time. That was why we had always thought that the scale of the Army of Destruction that Visca had built back then wasn't that large. However, after chatting with Visca, I found out that she had actually left most of her troops in another world. Then, on a whim, she rushed over to beat up the Atlantis civilization. (I know this makes people speechless, but that was how Visca's brain was back then. Every few days, she would leave her entire army on the battlefield and lead three to five of her henchmen to beat up the local innocent "carbon-based monkeys.") It was just that the number of troops that she had left behind in the other world had always been a mystery. That girl didn't know how many troops she had left in the other world. Now, it seemed that the number was definitely not small. Furthermore, she might have even created a superweapon that could instantly destroy the universe, something like Hot Start or King's Landing.
"When was it destroyed? Let me think … Oh, that's right, it happened not too long ago! " Icetis thought for a few seconds and immediately clapped her hands happily. I was so shocked that my legs trembled. Ding! Not too long ago! Not too long ago, Visca was with us! Could it be that her Army of Destruction had been destroying other worlds on its own?
In the end, Icetis's next words made the elder sister and I speechless.
"Not too long ago, about 720,000 years ago …"
Thus, I knew that elder sister had definitely asked the wrong person to discuss the time with Icetis.
However, after two seconds, I suddenly realized something.
"720,000 years ago?" The elder sister and I reacted at the same time and exclaimed at Icetis in unison. Then, I hurriedly calculated, "Which time standard is it? The timeline of another world or Earth's time reference? "
This was a very important question. Due to the endless void, the time frame between each world was different. For example, if you were to suddenly travel to a different world while making noodles and spend ten years in it, and then when you returned, you would most likely find that the noodles were still hard, and the deviation could be so huge. Because the worlds that were included in the Space Administration had a constant information transmission channel, this kind of time drift would be locked. It was equivalent to tying two small boats that were originally floating randomly on the sea with a chain. No matter how they floated in the future, they would always be within the range of the chain. As for the worlds that were not included in the Space Administration, for example, the Atlantis world 720,000 years ago and the destroyed world that Icetis mentioned, there would definitely be a time difference. That was why I asked this question.
"Of course it is Earth's time reference," Icetis replied matter-of-factly. "I know that you hate math the most, so I have already converted it. The deviation is not more than a thousand years … Yup, you also know that Protoss isn't very good at calculating time …"
Elder sister and I looked at each other and confirmed the guess in our hearts.
The world that was probably destroyed by Visca's Army of Destruction should have been destroyed in the same era as Atlantis!
